Gameplay

I'll participate. Is Juro going too?

Megumi getting ready for battle

Megumi's forte is versatility, ease of use, and providing support to her allies both offensively and defensively through unparalleled maneuverability and a Forced Cooling Device. With it, Megumi can jump between different engagements, efficiently deploy Interceptors to the fore, heal, shield, impede, weaken enemies, and shoot down missiles in a moment's notice. In short, she is a taskmaster who takes cares of the little things to make everyone's life a bit easier. What she makes up for in lack of firepower is having a balanced loadout, strong supports and a straightforward skill set that's easy to get the most out of.

In terms of stats, she herself is a frail unit with an above average EP and HP pool. Being alone, having Juro and or Kisaragi boosts her performance considerably. On the Defense side, she's the only character who's able to passively heal teammates with Repair Drones.

Megumi is overly reliant on having Juro, or at least Kisaragi on the team to be at her best. Her lack of more powerful weaponry makes it difficult to secure safe kills on medium kaiju unless she gets in close with her Arm-Mounted Pulse Lasers or Multi-Lock Missiles. The firepower issue can be remedied with Interceptors and Hyper Condenser, but this combination takes up two valuable weapon slots for a pilot whose main strength is support and is cost prohibitive. As an extension, her Interceptors won't be as useful if they're not consistently mopping up Workers and Hunters to help recover EP.

Pilot Skills

• Level 5: My Sole Best Friend - If Kisaragi is in the strike team, WT recovery speed increases.
• Level 10: This Time, I'll Save You - If Kurabe is in the strike team, increases all stats.
• Level 15: Used to Loneliness - Increases all stats when no allies are nearby.
• Level 20: Hidden Girl Power - After defending, EP slightly recovers for boys, and HP slightly recovers for girls.
• Level 25: Watch Me, Juro! - Whenever Kurabe is nearby, Attack is significantly increased.
• Level 30: Look out, Juro! - Whenever Kurabe's HP decreases, WT recovery speed increases.

Etymology

• The name "Megumi" means "blessing" (恵).
• Megumi's surname Yakushiji means "medicine" (薬) (yaku), "teacher, master" (師) (shi) and "temple" (寺) (ji).

Trivia

• Yakushiji was raised by a single mother who was a career woman. While she took take of Yakushiji, most of her time was dedicated to work, resulting in her not spending much time around her. It caused Yakushiji to become a good cook (as most of the housework was left to her), as well as her late-bloomer personality.
